Spreckels, from San Francisco,
bring papers to the 18th instant,
from which the following late news
has been clipped:-
Philadelphia, March IA. - The
wages of the employees of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad,
increased from 8 to 10 percent.
The increase begins to-day, and will
affect at least 500 men, exclusive of
those at Port Richmond and the
freight handlers at the depots. This
action of the company is the result
of conference which was held
Saturday between an Arbitration
Board representing the employees
and the General Superintendent. 1t
is understood that similar advance
was to be granted the employees at
other points along the road.
Popular excitements and sensa-
tions succeed each other among our
mercurial population, as one wave
follows another. Friday last, 100,-
600 people turned out to honor the
memory of the late pastor of Ply
mouth Church. On Saturday many
thousands, with totally different
emotions, thronged the wharves and
went down to witness the departure
of the Dauntless and Coronet. Al
ready Beecher is well-nigh forgotten.
1t is astonishing to see what vast
numbers OF people of leisure there
are, which occasions of this kind
bring together from all hooks and
corners of the city.
